Everything is fine, up until this bit:

Twenty-seven plus two is twenty-nine.

The total amount given to the troll and sons were 27 sheep (25 and the sons kept 2).

Where it gets confused is saying "The trolls kept 2" as if this were 2 more sheep on top of the 27 sheep. This leads to you erroneously getting to 29 sheep somehow. The 2 sheep are part of the 27, you can't do this.

The 3 other sheep out of the original 30 are now with the shepherders after the sons came and returned them.

Ad revenue. It is harder to block ads on mobile than it is on desktop.

“Open”AI. This blocking manoeuvre kills progress.

Share with them generated videos of us hanging out with other alien species, having a good time, etc. and make it seem like they’re missing out.

I went on omegle not too long ago actually and the thing I remember was that the text version of the website was inundated with bots.

You had to skip through maybe 10-15 bots before you would find that one real person, and even then it was hit or miss whether they would actually want to stay and have a conversation.

Another thing: the constant "asl" as the top of every conversation; it's like people were trying to use it as a hook-up / dating / sexting app rather than it's actual purpose of connecting with people from around the world. I think that mission got lost somewhere.

People have been getting crushed by machines since the industrial age began; machines are inherently dangerous, there is so much that could have been done to prevent this from happening.

"I'll see you on the other side." Works both ways.

There was no "I have not donated, I would not donate" option in your survey, so if your intention is to understand how people are thinking about donations I think your survey needs some work.

Sounds like Google+ all over again...

The idea that it's theoretically possible that we would be able to simulate a universe of our own leads to the hypothesis that we could be living in a simulation ourselves.

I'm likely staying. I've gotten used to lemmy now.

3 days is all it took.

I didn't come here because of the blackout though, I came here in protest; going back to Reddit while they haven't changed their policy wouldn't be helpful.
